Welcome!

Welcome! Life is a journey everyone takes. There are unseen, misleading and dangerous obstacles that can get us off the safest road. We all can use road signs and "driving instructors" to help us avoid being hijacked, sidetracked, or broken down!
This blog is designed to provide Trinity students and their parents "road maps" that can enable our students to stay on the safest and smoothest road for their journey.

Daily in Drug Education class we will be discussing information obtained from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Most specifically we will be using the "Mind Over Matter" curriculum. You will find this same information through the Drug Education Resources link on the sidebar.

Parents may follow along with the daily classroom topics by reading this blog. By checking the NIDA website parents will be able to electronically view the same information that the students will be seeing in brochure form. It is our hope that this will facilitate even more discussion between parent and child!

Parents: we urge you to peruse any drug education website to ascertain it's age-level appropriateness for your child before allowing full access.

Bible Verse for this year: "Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." Hebrews 5: 13 - 14

Session 3:  Day 6  Nicotine - believed to be one of  THE most addictive drugs in America.  THE number one drug from which people die in the United States.  More people die each year from a tobacco related illness than deaths from all other types of drugs combined.

Tried to make sure today that the boys understood that smokeless tobacco is as deadly as smoking tobacco. You won't get lung cancer from smokeless tobacco, but you can sure get mouth and throat cancer.  We looked at statistics today that say only 1 out of 10 teenage tobacco users will be able to permanently quit.  It  is so very important that they never start!!
